I don't understand how boycotting Black Friday helps human rights.

All they care about is money. Maybe if we stop giving it they'll listen.

But I don't understand how it's supposed to impact mistreated minorities or police who do wrong.

The wording of the ad is suspect, not the message

The “black” in Black Friday refers to the pre-computer accounting practice of using black ink in ledger books to indicate positive values, and red ink to indicate negative values; the whole Black Friday shopping clusterfuck was devised as a way to help ensure that companies would be “in the black” (a.k.a., have a net profit) by the end of the year. There is no racism implied by the original term.

“Blackout” in this context just refers to the idea of boycotting Black Friday; like an electrical blackout is a lack of electricity, a blackout in this sense means a lack of money flowing into the companies and their associated banks.

As to the context of the video, I doubt there’s any racist ideology or anti-white agenda, considering the video clearly shows people of all races being abused by officers.
